Course Description

This unit deals the replacement of electronic components, cabling and sub systems of electronic apparatus. It encompasses safe working practices, following written and oral instruction and procedures, basic testing and techniques, dismantling and assembling apparatus and disconnecting and reconnecting components.

1.1 OHS procedures for a given work area are identified, obtained and understood through established routines and procedures.1.2 Established OHS risk control measures and procedures are followed in preparation for the work.1.3 The nature of the repair is obtained from documentation or from work supervisor to establish the scope of work to be undertaken.1.4 Advice is sought from the work supervisor to ensure the work is co-ordinated effectively with others.1.5 Sources of materials that may be required for the work are established in accordance with established routines and procedures.1.6 Tools, apparatus and testing devices needed to carry out the work are obtained and checked for correct operation and safety.

Element:

2. Repair electronic apparatus.

Performance Criteria:

Overview of Assessment

The assessment is conducted in both theoretical and practical aspects of the course according to the performance criteria set in the National Training Package. Assessment may incorporate a variety of methods including written/oral activities and demonstration of practical skills to the relevant industry standards. Participants are advised that they are likely to be asked to personally demonstrate their assessment activities to their teacher/assessor. Feedback will be provided throughout the course. To successfully complete this course you will be required to demonstrate competency in each assessment task detailed under Assessment Tasks:

Graduate attribute is assessed in at least one, but less than one-third, of the Element.

2

Graduate attribute is assessed in at least one third, but less than two-thirds, of the Element.

3

Graduate attribute is assessed in more than two-thirds of the Element.
